THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME

When I was growing up, we (rap lovers around and I) used to
think KRS-One was the most formidable rapper ever. At other times we thought it
was Notorious BIG or Tupac, probably because they were popular due to their feud
then. But times change and things change. Recently I saw a statement online
where Jay-Z was argued to be the greatest rapper of all time and Lil Wayne was downplayed for claiming he is the greatest; and I was like, “Back
then Jay-Z was not even in the top five!” So I decided to make a survey.

In this survey I sampled 10 different online rankings of the
greatest rappers of all time, and I’m using the poll to give you the most authentic
ranking in the world as at September 2012. I bet this could even be the
greatest ranking ever! Lol.

Number 10: BIG DADDY KANE

Number 9: ICE CUBE

Number 8: LIL WAYNE

Number 7: KRS ONE

Number 6: RAKIM

Number 5: EMINEM

Number 4: NOTORIOUS B.I.G.

Number 3: JAY Z

Number 2: NAS

Number 1: TUPAC

Yeah, I know you’d want to contest because your favourite
rapper is not Number 1. But here is what I did: I checked 10 ranking sites and
listed all top 10 in each. Some of the rankings used included (but not exclusive
to)Most Lyrical, Most Overatted, Hip Hop 365, MTV ranking, etc. Then I gave them scores in reverse, i.e., number
1 scores 10 marks while number 10 scores 1 mark. There are rappers like Dr Dre,
LL Cool J, Snoop Dog, etc who appeared in some rankings but didn’t appear in
others. But Numbers 7 to 1 in this ranking appeared in almost all the rankings. So wouldn’t you agree with me that Tupac is the greatest rapper of all
time?
